              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of
M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mechanics &
Farmers Bank ("M&F Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and instructions from Regulation S-B.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

2.   Investment Securities

The Company accounts for investment securities using Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). Under SFAS 115, the accounting for
investment securities held as an asset is dependent upon their classification as
held to maturity, available for sale, or trading assets.

3.   Loans

Loans are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance
for possible loan losses and deferred fees. Interest on commercial, mortgage and
installment loans is accrued and credited to operating income based upon the
principal amount outstanding. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual
of interest when, in management's judgment, circumstances indicate that
collection is doubtful. The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114)
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures (SFAS 118).

4.   Net Income Per Share

Net Income per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding. There were no dilutive potential common shares
outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000.

5.   Regulatory Capital Requirements

M&F Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. As of June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 M&F Bank
had the following capital level.

                                 Capital
                       ----------------------------
                       Risk Based   Tier 1   Tier 2   Required Capital
                       ----------   ------   ------   ----------------
June 30, 2001             16.11%    14.35%   11.86%         6.00%
December 31, 2000         15.63%    13.86%   11.82%         6.00%

On June 27, 2001, M&F Bank transferred $500,000 from its capital to the Company
to allow the Company explore business opportunities.

                                       8


6.   Comprehensive Income

The Company applies the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS
130") which requires the Company to (a) classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial
position.

7.   New Accounting Pronouncement

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("SFAS 133") as amended by FAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, and SFAS
No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities. These Statements establish accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS 133 on
January 1, 2001. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

8.   Common Stock Cash Dividends

On March 27, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.08 per share to all shareholders of record on March 20, 2001
payable April 13, 2001. The dividend reduced shareholders equity by $68,298. On
June 26, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.08 per share to all shareholders of record on June 19, 2001.  The
dividend reduced equity by $68,298.

9.   Presentation

Certain amounts in 2000 have been reclassified to conform to the 2001
presentation.

10.  Subsequent Event

On July 5, 2001, the Company liquidated a defaulted loan in a foreclosure sale
for $1,965,000 resulting in a loss of $489,823. The loss has been previously
reserved and included in the loan loss reserves.


ITEM 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

General

The following discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial data
should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 2000. It is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition
and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000.

                                       9


Forward-Looking Statements

similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such

wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to
advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's
financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future
periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with
respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to

Financial Condition

Total assets increased 4.75 percent to $174,888,000 at June 30, 2001 from
$166,961,000 at December 31, 2000. The investment portfolio balance (including
FHLB stock) as of June 30, 2001 was $29,920,000 compared to $31,044,000 at
December 31, 2000. Maturities and deposits were used to fund loan demand and
satisfy liquidity needs. The investment portfolio can be liquidated to meet loan
demand if necessary. Approximately 95 percent of the portfolio was classified as
available-for-sale at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. All securities
purchased during 2001 and 2000 were classified in the available-for-sale
category. The average yield on the securities portfolio was 5.48 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 percent compared to 6.26 percent for the same period
for the prior year. Interest-earning deposits held at financial institutions
increased 107.54 percent to $15,808,000 compared to $7,617,000 at December 31,
2000.

Net Loans increased less than one percent from December 31, 2000. The average
yield on the loan portfolio was 8.45 percent for the six months ended June 30,
2001 compared to 8.66 percent at December 31, 2000. Management continues its
effort to add more adjustable rate loans to the portfolio in an effort to reduce
the interest rate sensitivity of our loans. This effort is normally achieved in
the area of commercial loans, which are primarily secured by real estate.

Deposits increased 6.00 percent to $143,261,000 at June 30, 2001 from
$135,146,000 at December 31, 2000. The percentage of interest-bearing accounts
to total accounts decreased to 77.48 percent compared to 82.99 percent at June
30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The average interest rate on
deposits increased to 3.57 percent from 3.23 from December 31, 2000 to June 30,
2001. Management believes that large deposit growth will be more difficult as
customers continue to look for alternative investment opportunities with higher
yields. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate other sources of
liquidity to meet loan demand if necessary.

Total shareholders' equity increased 1.62 percent to $17,994,000 on June 30,
2001 from $17,707,000 at December 31, 2000.  The change was due to year-to-date
net income partially offset by dividends declared.

Results of Operations - Comparison for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000

Net income decreased 31.65 percent to $391,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 compared with $572,000 for the same period in 2000. The Company has
experienced a 9.96 percent decrease in the net interest margin as a result of
the declining interest rates. Deposit growth has greatly exceeded loan growth
for the year which has also impacted the net interest margin. The deposit growth
has been invested in liquid assets to meet anticipated loan demand which provide
a lower rate of return than loans. Noninterest income for the period was
$996,000 compared to the $733,000. The increase resulted from increased rental
income for the corporate facility (currently 100% occupancy of tenant space
compared to approximately 60% for the prior year).

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased 35.2 percent to
$162,000 compared with $250,000 for the same period in 2000. The Company's
earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2001 continued to be adversely
impacted by the reduction in interest rates and loan growth. The net interest
margin decreased by 14.61 percent compared the same period for the prior year.
Management plans to increase marketing efforts with expanded advertising and
increased product promotions. Noninterest income for the period was $573,000
compared to $378,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was
attributed to increased rental income from tenant space.

Non-performing assets and allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan
losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying
the types and qualities of the Company's loans. Management considers such
factors as the repayment status of a loan, the estimated net realizable value of
the underlying collateral, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, current and
anticipated economic conditions which might affect the borrower's ability to
repay the loan and the Company's past statistical history concerning
charge-offs. The June 30, 2001 allowance for loan losses was 1,972,000 or 1.70
percent of total loans outstanding compared with $1,748,000 or 1.52 percent of
total loans outstanding at December 31, 2000. Management has considered
non-performing assets and total classified assets in establishing the allowance
for loan losses. At October 1, 2000 the Company had a loan of $2,485,000 in
default. In the quarter preceding the default, the loan had been restructured.
At June 30, 2001 the loan remained in default. On July 5, 2001, the Company
liquidated a defaulted loan in a foreclosure sale for $1,965,000 resulting in a
loss of $489,823. The loss has been previously reserved and included in the loan
loss reserves.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is one indicator of the
exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company consist of non-
accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, restructured loans,
and foreclosed assets, which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The following table provides certain information
regarding non-performing assets.

 Percentage of total assets                       2.92%       2.85%

                                       11


The level of non-performing assets impacts the Company's need to maintain
reserves adequate to cover loan losses in the existing portfolio. As non-
performing assets decline, it has a favorable impact on earning assets and net
interest income.
